Your Favourites within the Monster Hunter Series

[tuesday]

MH Vet of over a decade and pretty much havent missed a single release regardless of platform since freedom back in 2005! I was wondering what are some of your favourite games, weapons, armorsets, and just general memories within the series.

I'll start with some of my favourites:

My favourite game of all time was モンスターハンターフロンティア ダブルゼット(Monster Hunter Frontier Zenith Z)

Favourite weapon/armor set: Zenith Toridcless Magnet Spike/Armor Set

2016 was a crazy year for me, and i ended up spending a lot of my time in net cafes playing MH online.

Tochigi is such a great place, and if you ever find yourself in the Ustunomiya area, i'd recommend visiting for a day.

so far, i have only played monster hunter 4U and monster hunter world. i have enjoyed both games very much, but i feel as though i am too fresh to the series to offer any nuanced opinions. however, nargacuga is my favourite monster i have encountered thus far. very stylish cool and handsome.

I have played the 3ds titles (Stories, 3U, part of 4, part of Generations) and I enjoyed all of them.
My favourite weapons were the twin blades; my favourite armor was the best I could get after every mission; my favourite monsters (especially in Stories where you can ride them) are Stygian Zinogre, Lagombi, yellow Ludroth and blue Lagiacrus.

First time I tried a psp title I totally disliked it; then "Stories" came out, more close to me as genre and I liked it; after that, I got curious so I tried the other titles on 3ds but right now I have no desire to play another MH title.

I like barroth he is a goofy fella.
Gamewise I like GU

 

[Dr.Kisaragi]

Monster Hunter 3 on psp that is my favorite.

I'm new to the series, started with World and absolutely nolifed it for like 300 hrs. Odogaron set is probably my favorite and as a hammer main I liked the one from Vaal Hazak because it doesnt look like a hammer and more like an axe. Somehow my most vivid memories with that game are both related to crossover events. First is when my friend visited me and I played through The Witcher questline, we had such a fun time pointing out every reference and stuff. Second one is when I was loosing my mind grinding Behemoth from FF14 collab (I had to do it like ~30 times because every time someone kept screwing up). It was very hard and sometimes frustrating but also very funny when you see people get comically obliterated.

I got Monster Hunter World when it came out and for whatever reason couldn't really get into it. However, it was the Monster Hunter quests in MGS: Peace Walker that initially piqued my interest in the series.

I really like fighting Rathian in Rise, the attacks are so telegraphed they make for a good training monster that is not too hard nor too easy when picking up the other weapons. But in terms of armor I just really like the formal look of the Mizutsune set, it looks so good for both the male and female hunters.

I only played the Monster Hunter Freedom 2 and Unite and Portable 3rd but I played the Freedom Unite first once and it's wonderful for being an MH game for the PSP.

 

[solnK!]

Generations Ultimate, my first MH.
My favourite monster is the Yian Kut-Ku, i really like its armor.

 

[NovumVeritas]

Started with Monster Hunter 1, when it came out in Europe and playing it online. Favourite monster is still Rathalos for me.

Started in Monster Hunter Freedom. Then Monster Hunter Freedom 2 but after getting into Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, I joined a local Monster Hunter community. Once a week, I played multiplayer with them in Starbucks or restaurants that weren't too busy and willing to take us in. We had custom quests and even reserved an MH tournament in a mall. Highlight event was being the first team to beat dual G Rank Rajang in an arena naked where almost every hit is a one shot cart. I remember we actually got a C&D notice from Capcom for using official art as event decor which was a big surprise since it's in an out of the way sort of seedy mall. I couldn't believe Capcom would bother to C&D a small community as ours in a 3rd World country for an event that most people wouldn't even notice exists.

Now I play Wilds, previously played World and RIse. I liked Rise best, nothing in it really annoys me unlike the other two. Capcom's handling of Wilds however, is hit and miss for me.

i played the base game of world as well a little of portable 3rd and 4GU. i don't think those games are really for me. it just didn't stick with me very much.

My first was 3 on the Wii back in the day, but I think I've poured the most time into Rise. It's not really trad monhun and perhaps a little too streamlined but I loved the movement options and being able to play it in bed (I got it on Switch like a little gremlin). I'm a greatsword main to the bone and I like how crazy they made it. Also like how they didn't try to cram a story down your throat. I also played through Generations Ultimate earlier this year and liked that a lot.

 

[moonbits]

I started with Freedom Unite.
My favorite monsters are Barioth and Rathian.

Favorite games: All of them.
